We are in for another round of wintry weather today through Thursday. This latest storm brought blizzard conditions to portions of the Plains. Mild air will accompany this system, so in the valleys there will be some mixing and rain.

This storm system could bring 6 or more inches of snow to area mountains, particularly the southern Vermont Greens and the Adirondacks in northern New York. With rain and sleet mixing in with the snow, there will likely be lesser amounts in the Champlain Valley and St. Lawrence River Valley (3-6”). Due in part to shadowing from the Green Mountains, the NEK will likely only receive 1-3” of snow.

The storm moves in early this morning, starting in the south and moving north. There should be snow falling in the Champlain Valley by 9 AM. Travel conditions will deteriorate after that. Mixing and rain will fall in the Champlain Valley and St. Lawrence Valley through the daylight hours, before changing back over to snow overnight tonight. Snow will lightly fall and accumulate on Thursday as well.

The snow will be heavy and wet, and with the winds picking up there could be some scattered power outages. The greatest winds will be along the western slopes of the Green Mountains and in Rutland county where there is a Wind Advisory posted.

Travel conditions are expected to be very dangerous during this event.
